Why did Canelo move up to LHW for Kovalev, but can't do the same for Bivol & Beterbiev?

    Im not a Canelo hater but your right! it's toughest test was and still is GGG.But you know what? alots of ATG have do what he have done,
    Ill explain,Andre Ward(only one fight at 175) Carl Froch was call by a couples of threats( Adonis Stevenson,only to name him), and
    the other is a little touchy to talk here...because he is seen here(on this site) as untouchable because he is a brit.And the list goes on and on.
    btw im not a native speaker,so try to understand that my writings is not the best,thx.

    Wtf is this ****? You support a cheat who puts illegal wraps in their gloves, for who knows how long. Why dont you ask how Sebastian Lujan, whos ear fell of from taking Cheatos illegal powershots for several rounds how he feels about being cheated by something ILLEGAL. YDKSAB colin, and youre a fraud to boot. Pet your cat and stfu.. LMFAO

    Because a faded Kovalev was still a bigger name than Bivol and Beterbiev, and was also the lowest hanging fruit.

    I just don't understand that...i know he was a bigger name because he got hype alot and get more exposure too.My point is he come from two KO's and Bivol and Beterbiev was still unbeaten...so Canelo saying he was the best is a lie to his fans.

    "Why did Roy Jones Jr move up to fight John Ruiz but not Wladimir Klitschko?"

    The vast majority of people who have any knowledge of boxing understands that Kovalev was definitely not the top 2 or 3 guy when Canelo fought him, that was simply him talking up the opponent.

    RHH's omove to HW was historic. Canelo's choosing Kov was calculated. HUGE diff

    Yes, fighting a snail HW with limited boxing skills is very historical.

    When you debut at under 160, yes, it is a big feat. There's a reason that had not been done in about 100 year.
    And you can poo-poo Ruiz all you want. Bigger and more established HW struggled to beat Ruiz. Only Tua (Via a KO) and RJJ beat Ruiz w/ ease for the most part. Holyfield could not. Rahman could not. List goes on.
